I was a temporary employee in that tower for a few months working in the food store- which was crazy during the catering competition!

0:13 the Major General wears camouflage gear topped off with a Hi-Vis jacket? The mind boggles!

yes the muppet in the vid insults all who served in the acc, custard towers he said, as someone said previously this tower shaped the catering indsutry

[paultaylor114]

At no point does he say it is an accommodation block! There were accommodation blocks nearby which have also been torn down as part of the redevelopment and there will be new accn blocks where the tower stood.

I was 2/95, and it is a sad thing to see. shame muppet guy doesnt even know what he's talking about! this was not an accommodation block! this made the catering trade what it is today! Excellent!

That was my old depot.K1, K2.

A great place to learn with the best teachers.

I had a great time there.

The video makes it sound like the tower block was for accomodation. It was, in the main, a teaching block full of classrooms for the Army Catering Corps, prior to becoming part of the RLC - we should never forget our history regardless of how minor it seems.
